After returning from rebirth, the eldest sister of Hou family destroyed her household registration b

A gentle word made the whole room instantly quiet.

The anger on Emperor Xiao's face was still there, but when he met Concubine Xue Guifei's eyes, he couldn't help but tremble.

"Qingzhi, how can I trust you?"

"Your Majesty, I really like Chu Huanyan and like to chat with her, but between her and the Emperor, I will choose the Emperor."

"I am also really tired of the palace. I am tired of seeing the same scenery inside and living the same life every day. But if I really want to let the scenery outside leave the emperor, I still want to choose the emperor."

There was a crack of anger on Emperor Xiao's face, and he avoided Concubine Xue's gaze.

"I've already said it, I can't believe your words."

"Your Majesty, I have been confused and resentful for too long. I always feel that it is because of the Emperor that I am trapped in this deep palace and have completely lost my freedom. But now I understand that after so many years, I I have long since been moved by the Emperor's sincerity, and I have even fallen in love with the Emperor, but I am trapped in the past and do not want to admit it."

Emperor Xiao swayed and subconsciously looked at Concubine Xue, "You said you fell in love with me?"

"Yes, I like the emperor." Concubine Xue stood up and looked up at Emperor Xiao, "I know that my face has been ruined, and now I have no face to accompany the emperor, but I still want to tell the emperor , if there is a chance to do it again, I will definitely love the emperor well, stay with you well, and grow old together with you."

Emperor Xiao stared blankly at the person in front of him, as if his mind was suddenly illuminated by warm sunlight, making him feel a little dazed.

"Zhi'er, do you really mean what you said?"

"Yes, I can swear to heaven. If this statement is false, then let..."

"Okay." Emperor Xiao interrupted Concubine Xue, "I don't need you to make any oath, I just need you to look into my eyes and tell me again, do you...really have me in your heart?"

Concubine Xue took a few steps closer to Emperor Xiao and looked directly into his eyes.

"Yes, although I have only discovered it now, I really like the emperor. No matter how the emperor wants to treat me, I only want a chance to be with the emperor in the future."

Their eyes met, and after a long time, Emperor Xiao's eyes turned red.

"Zhi'er, since you said it, I will believe you." He stretched out his hand to hold Concubine Xue in his arms, and there was even a hint of choking in Emperor Xiao's tone, "After so many years, I finally waited for you to say that I like her."

Concubine Xue put her arms around Emperor Xiao's waist and leaned quietly in his arms.

"Your Majesty, it's my concubine's fault for keeping you waiting for too long."

Outside the room, the eunuchs and maids who were worried just now were filled with emotion as they looked at this scene.

She was indeed the most favored concubine in the harem. A plate of pastries and a few words could actually make the emperor change his attitude.

Although the imperial concubine’s face is hurt, looking at it like this, I’m afraid she will still be able to pamper her in the harem in the future!

And what happened next was exactly as the eunuchs and maids had expected. In just one lunch, Concubine Xue returned to her favor.

Throughout the afternoon, various rewards were delivered to Zhaoxia Palace. Emperor Xiao even asked Concubine Xue to accompany him in the imperial study to handle government affairs. At night, she naturally rested in Zhaoxia Palace.

On the morning of the next day, on the way to the palace, I overheard some eunuchs and maids talking about Concubine Xue, who had hurt her face and had become a daughter without salt. She should not be so favored. Emperor Xiao was furious and ordered them to be beaten to death in public.

Afterwards, it was announced directly in the morning court that after the birthday banquet, Concubine Xue would be named the queen.

For a time, there was a storm in the harem, and countless people were surprised at how favored Concubine Xue was.

And those concubines who were still dissatisfied with Concubine Xue's return to favor and were secretly planning to find a way to teach her a lesson were also stunned by the news one after another and did not dare to act rashly again.

Another day passed, and Emperor Xiao's birthday arrived.

Chu Huanyan and Xiao Jinzhi got into the carriage together and entered the palace for the banquet.

Due to the strict interrogation at the birthday banquet and the tight guards, the secret guards could not continue to follow Xiao Jinzhi into the palace. Although Qin Li followed Xiao Jinzhi, he also removed his weapons.

On the palace road, seeing Lu entering the palace one after another and the courtiers coming up to say hello and salute, Chu Huanyan lowered her voice and spoke to Xiao Jinzhi.

"How many people do you think the emperor ambushed at today's birthday banquet?"

"If you just want to kill us, the imperial guards in the palace will be enough." Xiao Jinzhi held Chu Huanyan's hand and smiled brightly with her peach blossom eyes.

"After all, it's a birthday banquet, and there are so many courtiers. Will he really use the Royal Guards?"

In this way, the news that the emperor wants to kill the prince cannot be concealed no matter what, and it will definitely cause an uproar in the entire imperial city and even the whole world.

"If we can't do it secretly, we may not be able to risk everything when the critical moment comes." Xiao Jinzhi said calmly, holding Chu Huanyan's hand and slightly increasing his strength.

"Then it seems that we can only seize the opportunity tonight. We must rush before Xiao Emperor takes action, otherwise we may not have a chance to speak." Chu Huanyan raised her eyebrows and spoke with the same moving smile on her face, speaking meaningfully. , "I just hope everything goes as we wish tonight."

Xiao Jinzhi looked at her sideways, the smile in his eyes becoming more and more obvious, "I will."

Some courtiers not far away looked at this situation and just thought it was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the future Crown Princess chatting and laughing. They couldn't help but sigh in their hearts. The two seemed to be a real match.

It was almost time for the birthday banquet, and officials were arriving one after another. Since Emperor Xiao had not arrived yet, many people gathered around to chat.

Chu Huanyan and Xiao Jinzhi sat down in their seats and looked at the courtiers who were chatting animatedly.

It wasn't until someone in the crowd called out "Third Prince" that the lively chatter stopped abruptly.

All eyes turned to the entrance of the banquet.

Xiao Rongxuan changed his clothes and recombed his bun. He looked the same as before, but the look of decadence between his eyebrows clearly told everyone that the third prince in front of him had made a big mistake now. Waiting for sin.

Seeing Xiao Rongxuan walking in, no one among the courtiers came forward to salute, but many people turned their attention to Liu Changhan.

The latter did not speak, but looked at Xiao Rongxuan coldly with solemn eyes.

Until they saw Xiao Rongxuan sitting down without saying a word, the courtiers who had taken refuge in Liu Changhan couldn't stand it and spoke in a cold voice.

"Is it possible that the Third Prince is planning not to say a word?"
